As I sit back and catch up on some of the post through out the weekend made on here, I've wanted to reply several times but held my tounge back regarding X5. This team as struggled with injuries, fill ins, even the night before Dallas another situation had another fill in added the NIGHT BEFORE flights left Friday morning, size changes due to circumstances, the kids were getting frustrated, they were working hard as a worlds team.
Theapia allowed the girls to vote and used their input when deciding how they would compete at NCA. The rules were followed and they competed 3 times as a lrg restricted prior to NCA. They will be regrouping again making some changes back to a Worlds team, regardless of some of the comments made by some fellow Fierce board members, stating your feelings that they are a boarderline worlds team or saying restricted is their friend..who are you to determine these athletes worth or ability. Just because they came in 3rd doesnt mean they cant contend as a worlds team. The Lrg R5 division was tough. The scores were very close. And no one team could have been picked as a winner or a looser by watching this division! The decision as explained, was to take the pressure off of these girls and just go out and hit and have a greatperformance ( wich they have been doing lately)
These girls have busted out hours of practices and have beaten out some Worlds teams in our area with the competitions we have. The girls know Lrg senior Worlds divison is tough. They know what they are up against. The coaches and parents know too.BUT our girls trust and believe in one another and they know Theapia has their best interest in heart!
Please remember when you are discussing a teams worth or ability that it is very likely that one of their athletes, a child could read what you are writting. Most of the comments came from parents and even one or two in another thread came from coaches, is that the example you want to set for your children and athletes???????
I will say Theapia will never put crap on the floor!!. Our kids will never look a hot mess. And if your so concerned for these girls and feel restricted 5 is were they belong, or you feel the decisions made for this team are wrong, maybe you should send a email to the owner. Everyone is entitled to their thoughts, just remember the kids read these post too. Set a good example. One day it could be your CP team or your athletes being discussed. Stay classy.
